A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 92.0 km/h to 54.0 km/h in the 16.0 s that it takes to round

the bend. The radius of the curve is 130 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 54.0 km/h. Assume the train continues to slow down at this time at the same rate.

Calculation of centripetal acceleration(ac):

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

we can change our speed in terms of m/s

v=54km/h=54*\frac{1000}{3600} m/s

now, we can plug these values

a_c=\frac{(54*\frac{1000}{3600})^2}{130}

a_c=1.73077m/s^2

Calculation of tangential acceleration(at):

a_t=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

now, we can plug values

a_t=\frac{(54-92)*\frac{1000}{3600} }{16}

now, we can simplify it

a_t=-0.65972 m/s^2

Calculation of resultant acceleration:

a=\sqrt{(a_c)^2+(a_t)^2}

now, we can plug values

a=\sqrt{(1.73077)^2+(-0.65972)^2}

a=1.85224m/s^2.............Answer

Suppose △ABC has exterior angle at vertex B. The exterior angle is (12x−24)°, m∠A=(3x−6)°, and m∠C=(6x+12)°. What is the measure
Temka [501]

Answer: 96°

Step-by-step explanation:

If a triangle is being drawn, Angle A and C will be the two remote interior angles in the triangle. The sum of the two interior angles has to equal to the exterior angle.

Set them equal each other and solve for x.

(3x-6) + (6x +12) = 12x - 24     Combine like terms

9x + 6 = 12x - 24          Subtract 6 from both sides

    - 6             -6  

   9x = 12x - 30             Subtract 12x from both sides

-12x       -12x  

    -3x = -30               Divide both sides by -3    

 x = 10      

Now since  x is 10 degrees we will need to input the value into in for x in the exterior angle expression and break it down.  

   Exterior :  12(10) - 24

                    120 - 24  = 96

    This means the measure of the exterior angle at vertex B is  96 degrees.

Lines l and m intersect at point p and are perpendicular. if a point q is reflected across l and then across m, what transformat
artcher [175]
Rotating 180 degrees about the point p. 

If they are perpendicular reflecting across each one will have the same effect as if the point was rotated 180 degrees about the certain point.
